The Astonishing Secret of Awesome Man - Tapa blanda

Praise for SUMMERLAND: "Chabon hits a high-flying home run."--Publishers Weekly Praise for THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF KAVALIER AND CLAY: "The depth of Chabon's thought, his sharp language, his inventiveness and his ambition make this a novel of towering achievement."--New York Times Book Review Praise for SUMMERLAND: "Packed with magic, adventure, myth, and America's favorite pastime, this book will enchant its audience.--School Library Journal "Awesome indeed."--Kirkus Reviews "The depiction of a showdown between Awesome Man and his nemesis--the Flaming Eyeball--is priceless. Readers may notice that there's a moral peeking out from Awesome Man's cape, but they'll still grab this story in their 'ginormous Awesome Power Grip' and not let go."--School Library Journal (starred review) "Young caped crusaders and Chabon's adult fans alike will grin at this self-consciously witty portrait."--Publishers Weekly "Chabon's first-person narrative is that of a boy-zealous, goofy, and antisister-and the story reads like the play-by-play antics of an action figure in a kid's game."--ALA Booklist "It's a wonderful celebration of tough-guy fantasies and down-to-earth boyness, perfectly matched with the retro stylings of animated film artist and comic book illustrator Parker."--San Francisco Chronicle
